    • I see, shame, I think if a claim is 'someone was served' then proof of that should be mandatory. Appreciate your input into the WS whenever you get chance, thanks in advance
    • Paper trail off the original creditor often confirms the default and issue of a notice...not having or being able to disclose the actual copy or being able to produce a copy less so. Creditors are not compelled to keep copies of the actual default notice so you will in most cases get a reconstituted version but must contain accurate figures/dates/format.     .    
    • Including Default Notice Andy? Ok, I think this is the best I can do.. it all makes sense with references to their WS. They have included exhibits that dates don't match the WS about them, small but still.. if you're going to reference letters giving dates, then the exhibits should be correct, no? I know I redacted them too much, but one of the dates differs to the WS by a few months. IN THE ******** County Court Claim No. [***] BETWEEN: LC Asset 2 S.A.R.L CLAIMANT AND [***] DEFENDANT ************ _________________________ ________ WITNESS STATEMENT OF [***] _________________________ ________ I, [***], being the Defendant in this case will state as follows; I make this Witness Statement in support of my defence in this claim. 1. I understand that the claimant is an Assignee, a buyer of defunct or bad debts, which are bought on mass portfolios at a much-reduced cost to the amount claimed and which the original creditors have already written off as a capital loss and claimed against taxable income as confirmed in the claimant’s witness statement exhibit by way of the Deed of Assignment. As an assignee or creditor as defined in section 189 of the CCA this applies to this new requirement on assignment of rights. This means that when an assignee purchases debts (or otherwise acquires rights under a credit agreement) it also acquires certain obligations to the borrower including the duty to comply with CCA requirements (such as the rules on statements and notices and other post-contractual information). The assignee becomes the creditor under the agreement. This ensures that essential consumer protections under the CCA cannot be circumvented by assigning the debt to a third party. 2. The Claim relates to an alleged Credit Card agreement between the Defendant and Bank of Scotland plc. Save insofar of any admittance it is accepted that the Defendant has had contractual agreements with Bank of Scotland plc in the past, the Defendant is unaware as to what alleged debt the Claimant refers. 3. The Defendant requested a copy of the CCA on the 24/12/2022 along with the standard fee of £1.00 postal order, to which the defendant received a reply from the Claimant dated 06/02/2023. To this date, the Claimant has failed to disclose a valid agreement and proof as per their claim that this is enforceable, that Default Notice and Notice of Assignment were sent to and received by the Defendant, on which their claim relies. The Claimant is put to strict proof to verify and confirm that the exhibit *** is a true copy of the agreement and are the true Terms and Conditions as issued at the time of inception of the online application and execution of the agreement. 4. Point 3 is noted. The Claimant pleads that a default notice has been served upon the defendant as evidenced by Exhibit [***]. The claimant is put to strict proof to verify the service of the above in accordance with s136 and s196 Law of Property Act 1925. 5. Point 6 is noted and disputed. The Defendant cannot recall ever having received the notice of assignment as evidenced in the exhibit marked ***. The claimant is put to strict proof to verify the service of the above in accordance with s136 and s196 Law of Property Act 1925. 6. Point 11 is noted and disputed. See 3. 7. Point 12 is noted, the Defendant doesn’t recall receiving contact where documentation is provided as per the Claimants obligations under CCA. In addition, the Claimant pleads letters were sent on dates given, yet those are not the letters evidenced in their exhibits *** 8. Point 13 is noted and denied. Claimant is put to strict proof to prove allegations. 9. The Claimant did not provide a true copy of the CCA in response to the Defendants request of 24/12/2022. The Claimant further claims that the documents are sufficient to pursue a Judgement and are therefore copies of original documents in their possession. Conclusion 10. Without the Claimant providing a valid true copy of the executed Credit agreement that complies with the CCA, the Claimant has no grounds on which to enforce this alleged debt. 11. The Defendant was not given ample evidence to prove the debt and therefore was not required to enter settlement negotiations. Should the debt be proved in the future, the Defendant is willing to enter such negotiations with the Claimant. On receipt of this claim I could not recall the precise details of the agreement or any debt and sought clarity from the claimant by way of a Section 78 request. The Claimant failed to comply. I can only assume as this was due to the Claimant not having any enforceable documentation and issuing a claim in hope of an undefended default judgment.   Statement of Truth I, ********, the Defendant, believe the facts stated within this Witness Statement to be true. I understand that proceedings for contempt of court may be brought against anyone who makes, or causes to be made, a false statement in a document verified by a statement of truth without an honest belief in it’s truth. Signed: _________________________ _______ Dated: _____________________

    • Hello,

      On 15/1/24 booked appointment with Big Motoring World (BMW) to view a mini on 17/1/24 at 8pm at their Enfield dealership.  

      Car was dirty and test drive was two circuits of roundabout on entry to the showroom.  Was p/x my car and rushed by sales exec and a manager into buying the mini and a 3yr warranty that night, sale all wrapped up by 10pm.  They strongly advised me taking warranty out on car that age (2017) and confirmed it was honoured at over 500 UK registered garages.

      The next day, 18/1/24 noticed amber engine warning light on dashboard , immediately phoned BMW aftercare team to ask for it to be investigated asap at nearest garage to me. After 15 mins on hold was told only their 5 service centres across the UK can deal with car issues with earliest date for inspection in March ! Said I’m not happy with that given what sales team advised or driving car. Told an amber warning light only advisory so to drive with caution and call back when light goes red.

      I’m not happy to do this, drive the car or with the after care experience (a sign of further stresses to come) so want a refund and to return the car asap.

      Please can you advise what I need to do today to get this done. 
       

      Many thanks

    • We have finally managed to obtain the transcript of this case.

      The judge's reasoning is very useful and will certainly be helpful in any other cases relating to third-party rights where the customer has contracted with the courier company by using a broker.
      This is generally speaking the problem with using PackLink who are domiciled in Spain and very conveniently out of reach of the British justice system.

      Frankly I don't think that is any accident.

      One of the points that the judge made was that the customers contract with the broker specifically refers to the courier – and it is clear that the courier knows that they are acting for a third party. There is no need to name the third party. They just have to be recognisably part of a class of person – such as a sender or a recipient of the parcel.

      Please note that a recent case against UPS failed on exactly the same issue with the judge held that the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999 did not apply.

      We will be getting that transcript very soon. We will look at it and we will understand how the judge made such catastrophic mistakes. It was a very poor judgement.
      We will be recommending that people do include this adverse judgement in their bundle so that when they go to county court the judge will see both sides and see the arguments against this adverse judgement.
      Also, we will be to demonstrate to the judge that we are fair-minded and that we don't mind bringing everything to the attention of the judge even if it is against our own interests.
      This is good ethical practice.

      It would be very nice if the parcel delivery companies – including EVRi – practised this kind of thing as well.

I'm not sure of all the details but I will speak to her. My friend at my works daughter works at Sainsbury's and has a set amount of hours a week. She was told to come in this day and that day etc and by the end of the month she had worked more than her set hours. Sainsburys response was that she was only contracted to those set hours and so they will not be paying her any extra.

 

Surely this isn't fair?

Help me to help others!

Not just not fair, it doesn't sound right.

 

Can you find out more? There is no way you can be asked to do extra hours and not get paid for them, or at least not in an environment where you are paid an hourly rate.

 

Maybe she misunderstood, and they said they wouldn't pay her overtime rate? (which they can do if the hours worked are still below the full-time number of hours.)

Try and get some clarity on this.

 

I worked for Sainsburys years ago when I was a student and they were fabulous to work for. In fact, the best employers I ever worked for.

Nothing was too much trouble and their employee interests were always put first.

 

It could be just a misunderstanding.

I am a employee of sainsburys too many years to bother counting, but happy with the employer, as for any over time, employees are contracted to work set hrs per month, myself 37.5 or 150 per month, this amount of hours has to be worked and not enclude sickness before the over time rate kicks in so to speak,lets say if i work 140 hrs and 10 hrs sick, total 150 and work 15 hrs over time, then i would recieve 10 hours at normal rate and 5 hrs at over time rate, sainsburys staff receive 13 payment dates per year as we are on 4 weekly pay, and are contracted on set hrs which differ dependant on which area of work, ie store/suppy chain/etc and of course area. but all employees are entitled to over time, but the contracted hours per month have to be worked 1st. Bank holidays etc are paid at time and half and double time dependant on when the holidays are. There are some but not many stores that still have overtime hours banked, this enables staff to have the time off at a time to suit them and hence won't get paid overtime rate but get maybe a extra few days off during the month, unless by the month end hours are still in credit then the hours will be paid in overtime, sainsburys hours and pay struture change from store to store or supply chain to supply chain and so forth, the union on site will be able to give your friend all the informtion she/he needs to work out there hours and pay. Failing that, HR will be more than happy to explain any questions that might need answering.

My daughter worked for them about a year ago and their employee care was crap.

 

16 year old on a till all day and not allowed even a toilet break - and not just my daughter.

Well, to stop somebody going to the toilet is just crazy.

 

They were fabulous to me. Swapping shifts and time off at short notice, plenty of overtime, heavily subsidised canteen with great food, excellent training, good rates of pay, new uniform every 6 months and realistic promotion if I decided to stay.

 

Far better than some employments I've had.

 

Just lucky I guess.

just because she's entitled to it doesn't mean she's getting it, employers seem to "forget" about these laws as I've learned recently (6 hours + night shift without a break, 10 hours once with only a 10 minute toilet break).

Hi Robert,

you have a legal entitlement to be paid for all hours worked in excess of your contractual hours. She should ask the manager to put their decision in writing. If they are not prepared to do this then she should put her request in writing and keep a copy of her letter. If she heres nothing then she should raise a formal grievance against her manager. There will normally be 3 stages to this procedure and a copy of it will be available fro the Human resources department.

There are 3 Trade Unions recognised by Sainsburys, the best being Home (ok I'm biased) but even if there is not one at her store she still has the legal right to be represented so if she is a member she should contact them for advice, assistance and representation.

In relation to breaks the basic legal minimum is 20 minutes in a shift that lasts more than 6 hours although hopefully most of you will get far better than that?

 

I hope this is useful?

 

Best regards,

 

Paul

Employers don't 'forget', they know the law but some of them don't bother to enforce it unless you ask.

No job - and I mean NO job is worth risking your health over. Employers don't employ you out of pity, they employ you to help them make a profit, and for no other reason, but, on the other hand, you don't go to work for the fun of it. You work so that you can feed your family and pay the bills and for no other reason. The days of slavery have long gone and no-one should put up with blatant disregard for the laws of employment.

Never be afraid of the boss, ask him/her directly when you should take your break.

 

The regulations for under 18s are:

 

a limit of eight hours working time a day and 40 hours a week

 

not to work between 10pm and 6am or between 11pm and 7am (except in certain circumstances)

 

12 hours' rest between each working day

 

two days' weekly rest and a 30-minute in-work rest break when working longer than four and a half hours.

 

These are your rights, insist on them.

 

If your employer will not agree to them then you are within your rights to walk out and take them to an industrial tribunal claiming constructive dismissal. You do not have to have a qualifiying year under your belt either for breaches in the working time regulations.

No Conniff, I am not lying.

 

It was busy and the supervisors did not want to shut tills down. Add to that the standard response of "hang on a minute and I'll get someone to relieve you" and then going away and being distracted.

 

Yes we all have rights - it's just that in the real world, it is not always easy to enforce them - especially when you are only 16.

Hi Pat

 

I used to be 16 (sometime in the last century I think) and I know how daunting bosses can seem, but they are in general only human and can make errors or get distracted, remember though they used to be 16 at one time as well.

Ding your little bell the next time and ask "did you forget my break".

 

Breaks don't have to be half way through a shift, but they cannot be tagged on to the front or the end.

This was my daughter and the same thing happened to 2 friends of hers.

 

For a young girl in her first part-time job, it's very difficult to stand up to adult supervisors (don't forget the major adult/child interaction at that age - other than parents - is with teachers, with whom argument is not encouraged)

 

As it was a very busy period, I suspect that the problem was that the lane would have needed to be shut, rather than another member of staff substituted.

Hi everyone,

 

I am also an employee of sainsbury on a part time basis for the past three months and have a question. On signing my contract I was told that time and a half and double time payments were no longer being offered on a Sunday which on the face of it is fair enough if they are phasing this pay out entirely. However, I have recently discovered that some staff are paid double time on a sunday others are paid time and a half and some are paid the normal rate all for exactly the same work. Surely this is discriminating against newer employees?

 

Any advice would be appreciated.

No, they can pay different people on different contracts different amounts. When a new pay deal is brought in with large companies, it often means lower pay for new employees but existing employees pay/allowances are usually protected.

Opinions given herein are made informally by myself as a lay-person in good faith based on personal experience. For legal advice you must always consult a registered and insured lawyer.

When the Sunday Trading Act came in the only way that many stores could get people to work on a Sunday was to offer enhanced rates of pay, with Sunday traditionally being a day of rest. As time moved on and it became clear that Sunday trading was here to stay then these premiums have been reduced as staff recruitment has become easier - Sunday (sadly in some respects) has become just another day. Understandably one person's contract cannot be changed to cut their pay if their original deal was to receive an enhancement, but somebody applying for a job nowadays which includes Sunday working can be paid the going rate for the job. Over time, stores have been able to recruit staff without offering more pay as an incentive.

Any advice given is done so on the assumption that recipients will also take professional advice where appropriate.

Hi,

 

on the face of it they may have covered themselves by informing you when you signed your contract, however if the contract still states that you receive enhancements then you have a case as they should have issued an updated version.

You may also have a case for claiming equal pay if someone of the opposite sex is being paid more than you for doing the same job. Why not ask other newer employees if they are being paid overtime rates?

If there is a Union in your store and you are a member ask the Union Rep for advice. Even if there isn't one you can still join as an individual.

 

Regards,

 

Paul

Yep it isnt fair. Sainsburys is not the problem though, - the problem is the staff. The branch i work in are full of terrible heads that do what they like, racism included. These ones mislead you in order to get you fired if they dont like you.
